Amrik Singh tries to analyse the reasons for Hindu-Muslim divide and suggest solutions. The partition of India in 1947 was supposed to be a panacea for the Hindu-Muslim divide which had engulfed India for the preceding 1,000 years. Those who thought so were naïve. The issue was not territorial dispute but assimilation. One belief system, new and aggressive, wanted to establish hegemony over the other and this led to confrontation. The Partition also put a question mark on the loyalty of those Muslims who chose to stay on in India. The physical division of India created an emotional turmoil in both the communities. Rather than addressing these issues, a fledgling Pakistan unleashed its territorial ambitions and fought three fratricidal wars with India. Vested interests in India gave these the colour of a clash between two communities. The Bharatiya Janata Party that fed on Hindu nationalism did everything to perpetuate this myth. This was not opposed strongly by either the secular forces or from within the Indian Muslim community and communal forces gained in the process.

This book is an attempt to initiate a dialogue between Hindus and Muslims to explore how best we can cool the seething anger and douse the angry flames that have incited religious ideologies and are staggering at a rapid pace. The conflagration of the crisis appears headed for a volcano. Since 1947, India and Pakistan have shared profound affinities across ferociously policed borders, A few decades back, India was an amalgam of rare mysticism, its stages adorned with efflorescent strains of hereditary culture. The great 14th-century Sufi poet Amir Khusrau wrote qawwali, a poetic form derived from Arabic chants, using a female persona and imagery derived from the cult of the Hindu god Krishna. Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa, India’s most influential yogi in the 19th century, spent many years dressed in different costumes. India was the world’s busiest cultural crossroads, receiving and transmitting cultural influences between East and West, North and South. The divergence between Hindus and Muslims became ongoing after Britain divided the country. India’s independence and the emergence of Pakistan in 1947 have unquestionably impacted mutual relations, as underlined by the ongoing religious anxiety and increase in community riots. We may have to infuse rich cultural vigour to heal the wounded civilisation. What we need is to temper our speech and slough off prejudices with a respectful and helpful attitude.

What kinds of civic ties between different ethnic communities can contain, or even prevent, ethnic violence? This book draws on new research on Hindu-Muslim conflict in India to address this important question. Ashutosh Varshney examines three pairs of Indian cities—one city in each pair with a history of communal violence, the other with a history of relative communal harmony—to discern why violence between Hindus and Muslims occurs in some situations but not others. His findings will be of strong interest to scholars, politicians, and policymakers of South Asia, but the implications of his study have theoretical and practical relevance for a broad range of multiethnic societies in other areas of the world as well. The book focuses on the networks of civic engagement that bring Hindu and Muslim urban communities together. Strong associational forms of civic engagement, such as integrated business organizations, trade unions, political parties, and professional associations, are able to control outbreaks of ethnic violence, Varshney shows. Vigorous and communally integrated associational life can serve as an agent of peace by restraining those, including powerful politicians, who would polarize Hindus and Muslims along communal lines.

It takes a fresh look at the perennial problem of the divide between the Hindus and Muslims and the partition of India it led to. Historical reasons have been analysed in the study in considerable depth and conclusions have been drawn. It debunks the efforts made by some apologists of Jinnah to shift the blame for partition on to others' shoulders and delineates the growh of separtism from the earliest times. The doctrine of two nations led to the creation and division of Pakistan and the inevitable division of the Muslims of the sub-continent into three nations. Historical forces which helped in the creation of a separate nation have been studied.

"Bridging Divides: Navigating Hindu-Muslim Relations in India" is an insightful exploration that traverses the intricate historical, socio-political, and cultural landscapes of Hindu-Muslim interactions in the Indian subcontinent. Through a nuanced examination of historical events, governmental initiatives, and contemporary challenges, this book aims to unravel the complexities that define the relationship between these two vibrant communities. Beginning with a historical lens, the book delves into the tensions surrounding the destruction of Hindu temples, the burning of academic institutions, and the disdain for idol worship, laying the groundwork for understanding the historical grievances that have shaped the narrative.

"Bridging Divides" stands as a thought-provoking exploration, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the historical nuances, contemporary challenges, and future possibilities within the dynamic interplay of Hindu-Muslim relations in the Indian context

For decades India has been intermittently tormented by brutal outbursts of religious violence, thrusting thousands of ordinary Hindus and Muslims into bloody conflict. In this provocative work, psychoanalyst Sudhir Kakar exposes the psychological roots of Hindu-Muslim violence and examines with grace and intensity the subjective experience of religious hatred in his native land. With honesty, insight, and unsparing self-reflection, Kakar confronts the profoundly enigmatic relations that link individual egos to cultural moralities and religious violence. His innovative psychological approach offers a framework for understanding the kind of ethnic-religious conflict that has so vexed social scientists in India and throughout the world. Through riveting case studies, Kakar explores cultural stereotypes, religious antagonisms, ethnocentric histories, and episodic violence to trace the development of both Hindu and Muslim psyches. He argues that in early childhood the social identity of every Indian is grounded in traditional religious identifications and communalism. Together these bring about deep-set psychological anxieties and animosities toward the other. For Hindus and Muslims alike, violence becomes morally acceptable when communally and religiously sanctioned. As the changing pressures of modernization and secularism in a multicultural society grate at this entrenched communalism, and as each group vies for power, ethnic-religious conflicts ignite. The Colors of Violence speaks with eloquence and urgency to anyone concerned with the postmodern clash of religious and cultural identities.
